Another translation? Can't be......it's not a parralell translation Bible.....so...... What is the NU text??? Confused Yomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NU is probably one of those...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are found in the Critical Text published in the twenty-sixth edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament (N) and in the United Bible Societie's third edition (U), hence the acronym "NU-Text." That's the explanation in my NKJV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
